Bethesda is now owned by Microsoft meaning Starfield will be on gamepass day 1. Gamepass already heavily restricts how you mod your games with protected folder bullshit at the OS level.

I have a feeling that it'll be really hard to use nexus with Starfield if not entirely impossible as Beth and Msoft will want to kite you through their new mod store where they take a sizeable chunk from mod makers

    I don't want Microsoft or Bethesda to see a cent from modding, but at what point are mod creators allowed to charge for their work? A lot of the conversations around this sound a lot like empty consumer activism, completely ignoring the reality of people working thousands of hours to provide you content for free.

      Modders should def charge for their work but Msoft or Beth should not be related at all. Even Nexus being a storefront for mods would be better than that. Make something like itch.io for mods
